| There was a day in September |
| As clear as I can remember |
| I was visiting Kingston town |
| And taking a look around |
| I saw a cute little fellow |
| Who was looking downhearted |
| When I asked what the matter could be |
| He stopped to tell the story |
| I had a little donkey |
| And he done got locked up |
| Pum pa lum (pum pa lum) |
| They stick him in the jail |
| And he ain’t done nothing |
| Pum pa lum (pum pa lum) |
| Got him peeping through the bars |
| Like a little monkey |
| Pum pa lum (pum pa lum) |
| The folks all say |
| He been a real bad donkey |
| Pum pa lum (pum pa lum) |
| They say he’s acting |
| Like there’s rum in his hay |
| Pum pa lum (pum pa lum) |
| He wasn’t drunk |
| He just wanna play |
| Pum pa lum (pum pa lum) |
| I hear they’re gonna |
| Have a trial in the morning |
| Pum pa lum (pum pa lum) |
| I’m gonna tell the judge |
| That he ain’t done nothing |
| Pum pa lum (pum pa lum) |
| La la la la la… |
| First he bumped Mrs. Mary |
| And then he bite the policeman |
| Turn and broke Mr. Webster’s cart |
| Which was almost fallen apart |
| He started a little riot |
| But now there’s peace and there’s quiet |
| See how he done empty the street |
| Ain’t no one to trip your feet |
| I had a little donkey |
| And he done got locked up |
| Pum pa lum (pum pa lum) |
| They stick him in the jail |
| And he ain’t done nothing |
| Pum pa lum (pum pa lum) |
| Got him peeping through the bars |
| Like a little monkey |
| Pum pa lum (pum pa lum) |
| The folks all say |
| He been a real bad donkey |
| Pum pa lum (pum pa lum) |
| They say he’s acting |
| Like there’s rum in his hay |
| Pum pa lum (pum pa lum) |
| He wasn’t drunk |
| He just wanna play |
| Pum pa lum (pum pa lum) |
